From December 18th 2018

BigClaudia: “guys discord is doing a nitro subscriptions giveaway. It’s not a joke”
Mod4: (answering to BigClaudia) “I know, yesterday I got one. But the way you get it is peculiar… Basically someone from the Hypesquad has to gift it to you”
BigClaudia: “I already have a one-year subscription of nitro”
BigClaudia: “I gifted the code to enuna. But then I wanted to gift another one to feedfancier but I couldn’t so I asked ameli to give me a code to send to him”
Mod4: “Anyway if you give it as a gift it’s only for one month”
BigClaudia: “Yes”
FyreDraygg: (answering to BigClaudia) “What cheapskates they [Discord] are. They’d save face by openly asking for donations rather than doing these antics”
BigClaudia: “What?”

FyreDraygg: (answering to BigClaudia) “Discord”
BigClaudia: “But why [do you say] antics??”
FyreDraygg: (answering to BigClaudia) “Because Nitro is useless, they only block features to users to get paid”
FyreDraygg: “If I pay to have Nitro, I’d like to have additional features, not a couple of minimal things they took away from normal users only to psychologically force them to give [Discord] money”
FyreDraygg: “Instead of using these low tactics, they’d make a better impression by simply asking for donations”
FyreDraygg: “As Wikipedia does, as every online service does”
FyreDraygg: (answering to BigClaudia) “Anyway [I say] antics because if they want to make it a ‘gift’ then they should do it fully, without putting absurd conditions like someone from the team needs to gift it to you and then only to one person, I mean either you do it [fully] or just don’t”

BigClaudia: “And then you send big files without using third party apps”
BigClaudia: “Also it’s for the christmas period”
FyreDraygg: (answering to BigClaudia) “The limit you have with Nitro is always less than Telegram… and Telegram is free”
FyreDraygg: “Indeed, so they should give it to everyone for a month, without doing these miserly acts that someone from the teams has to give it to you and then one per person only”
FyreDraygg: “Otherwise it would mean it’s just a trick and it’s better for them to keep their fake gifts”
BigClaudia: “I know but as a nitro user personally i know some big differences between a normal account and a nitro one.
And the most useful feature is the screenshare one. You can screenshare in high definition to make the images more clear. I use it for guides”

FyreDraygg: (answering to BigClaudia) “First If you screenshare at 1080 your connection can’t handle it half of the time and secondly you’d make other people in the call angry because you’d consume their bandwidth. 😂”
Anyway, it’s not worth the cost. A feature I’d pay for would be having guaranteed bandwidth for servers, but obviously they can’t do that”
BigClaudia: “Listen to me… [disrespectful] Ask someone for the key and try it personally”
BigClaudia: “I don’t want to hear criticism without [she means “from someone who didn’t”] try it personally”
FyreDraygg: (answering to BigClaudia) “I already tried Nitro and fuck no I won’t renew it”
Mod4: (answering to FyreDraygg) “Yes, but joining Hypesqauad is free” (sic.)
BigClaudia: (answering to Mod 4) “Exactly”

FyreDraygg: (answering to Mod 4) “It’s still a requirement, such as “I give you this but you need to subscribe to my YouTube channel”. It’s not fair practice”
BigClaudia: “You can get hypersquad by doing a survey”
Mod4: (answering to FyreDraygg) “Yeah this is true… To be honest, Nitro doesn’t give a looooot more, in fact it’s useless if not for the upload limit [extension]. Who cares about emotes”


BigClaudia decided not to include these messages in her screenshots:

BigClaudia: “But it’s worth for someone who has big drawings to send”
FyreDraygg: (answering to Mod 4) “These are things just taken away from normal users as mocking and spite. “Pay me and I give you the features that are rightfully yours”
BigClaudia: “I have patreon and I make 8k [resolution] things and usually files weigh 20Mb.


Mod4: (answering to BigClaudia) “So why do you use Discord since there are other thousands of different upload methods out there?” (millemila > a lot, thousands. slang)
FyreDraygg: (answering to BigClaudia) “Telegram is free and you can send up to 1,5GB Emails up to 50MB DropBox, Drive, MEGA, whatever you wish”
BigClaudia: “I had Discord before telegram and not everyone has telegram”
BigClaudia: “And then, since there is an archive limit [on the other services], I have to delete them [some files]”
BigClaudia: “With nitro i don’t have to delete them and so I make less messes.”
Mod4: “You can always use Discord, but by using Mega or something similar you can still send files of whatever size you like”

BigClaudia: “Yes, but if the link gets deleted the file is lost!”
Mod4: (answering to BigClaudia) “Nope, Mega doesn’t work like that”
FyreDraygg: (answering to BigClaudia) “As long as you have Nitro. You have to renew it at 100 dollars for a year
MEGA has an archive of 200Gb for 50 dollars a year and 50Gb are free forever”
Mod4: “The free 50Gb should be good enough”
FyreDraygg: (answering to BigClaudia) “Not at all! If you lose the link you can regenerate it”
BigClaudia: “100 dollars if you include games”
Mod4: (answering to BigClaudia) “Do you use it [Discord Nitro] for the games?”

FyreDraygg: “It doesn’t change that much. It still costs 50 dollars even without the games. 😂”
BigClaudia: “Again, if the link is removed you lose [the file]”
BigClaudia: “And then I don’t think I could use them to share nsfw”
FyreDraygg: (answering to BigClaudia) “I already told you it’s not like that”
Mod4: (answering to BigClaudia) “You can share whatever you want”
BigClaudia: “I don’t trust these services.”
Mod4: “Why?”
Me (Alita): (answering to BigClaudia) “Have you ever tried them first before saying so?”

Me (Alita): “Google Drive exists too, I use it for commission files and I used less than 2Gb in two years”
BigClaudia: “I used it and I didn’t like it”
BigClaudia: “I use google drive for personal things only”
BigClaudia: “Not for Patreon stuff”
Me (Alita): “But “patreon stuff” will be uploaded on Patreon anyway, I’m talking about other kinds of files”
Me (Alita): “Anyway I agree [with you guys] on Nitro, [they] charge you too much for services you can find elsewhere, besides they give you minimal features
If they offered more I might even say that would be worth it”
FyreDraygg: (answering to BigClaudia) “Ah, well this is your problem. It’s not a valid reason to say that Discord Nitro is better, this is your own personal opinion on why you don’t want to use MEGA”
BigClaudia: “Yes but when I need to send the gift original file to the birthday person i’m forced to have it”


BigClaudia: “And then I don’t want to mix my art with my personal stuff. That’s a no for me”
Mod4: (answering to BigClaudia) “You can keep Mega just for your art. Moreover, Mega’s link will still bring the celebrating person to the original file”
BigClaudia: “I’d have used DA stash but I might risk being banned if I put nsfw there. I know that because a friend of mine was banned for this reason.”
FyreDraygg: (answering to BigClaudia) “Nobody said to use DA stash. We’re talking about MEGA”
Mod4: (answering to BigClaudia) “Mega doesn’t ban you even if you uploaded super hardcore stuff. It’s an archive, nobody has any reason for checking your files”

BigClaudia: “I don’t trust mega”
FyreDraygg: (answering to BigClaudia) “Then again, this is your own personal issue”
Me (Alita): (answering to BigClaudia) “Make another mail 🤗”
Me (Alita): “Google is also useful to switch [between accounts]”
Me (Alita): “And doesn’t have ridiculous limitations”
Me (Alita): “But oh well we’ve given you alternatives, if you want to uselessly spend 100$ when you could avoid that it’s your choice”
Me (Alita): “And if that choice makes you happy then good for you”
BigClaudia: “Let’s end it here!”
BigClaudia: “100 if you buy the games”
Me (Alita): “Why are you getting angry, we are calmly talking”

FyreDraygg: (answering to BigClaudia) “Very well, then don’t complain if we criticize Nitro 🤷‍♂️”
BigClaudia. “it’s 50 without the games” (giocho > giochi, typo)
BigClaudia: “Where the fuck did you pull out the 100 dollar thing? Almost nobody buys nitro with the games that i can also buy on steam”
Alita (Me): “It still doesn’t change my points”


BigClaudia decided not to include these messages in her screenshots:

Group Member 2: “Good evening”
Me (Alita): (answering to Group member 2) “G’evening!”
Group Member 2: (answering to Alita) *sticker*


BigClaudia: “Everyone has their own way to share media and looks for the easiest method depending on how trustful these services are”
BigClaudia: “Also when I use discord I am mostly on my phone, not on pc”
BigClaudia: (answering to Group member 2) “G’evening 😘”
Me (Alita): “Sure enough nobody criticized your choice, rather your shallow judgment of a service you never used”
FyreDraygg: “As a matter of fact nobody cares whether you personally use Nitro or not. But don’t bother us if we criticise it, period.”

While BigClaudia’s screenshots give the impression the conversation ended there, it instead continued.

BigClaudia: (answering to FyreDraygg) “Alright listen, let’s do a mature thing. Let’s do a poll to nitro users and see what they think and we’ll see 😁”
FyreDraygg: (answering to BigClaudia) “The mature thing to do is cut it out”
BigClaudia: “Indeed”
BigClaudia: “I can’t stay online now because I have paleolithic internet connection here”

Then the conversation changed and we were talking about something completely different.
